Mantis

What colour are we - the colour of us

What colour tu-mi are?

ok I supposed if I must

You are red and I am blue, two primary shades

but then there's yellow as well

a colour palette we have mades

Red for the love and drive, blue for calm and clear

yellow lightning all those you connect

bit too simple I think, my dear

Colour is perception, I see you for sure

you could never be such a simple metaphor

It is clear you offer up, much much more

You are beyond colour, wielding a special kind of brush

bland to colour, then even colour was grey

Now the vortex, Zilki marer, I become mush

Maybe colour would be clearer, if I were a shrimp

Even more of your light I could see

Just always know, for you, I am a simp

I could never have known, I saw just three

But now it's more, than even 12 or 16

my life complexified, when you chose me

the reality altering vortex, blasts through so bright

turns out its not a one off thing

its ACTUally a daily sight

I could never have foreseen such a perfect partner

It's not the 'fight me', you like me

When giving to you there's no need to barter

The beauty, the kindness, no need to sunder

Your true colour is beyond my comprehension

I have it all in you, my wonder
